I've started decorating for the fall. The first thing is a new wreath for the front door. I love the mesh wreaths, but mine aren't as fancy as some. I LOVE my owl! He's too cute! I bought all the supplies at Joann Fabrics. If you look closely, you can see some leaves at the bottom that Mr. Hoot-Owl is resting on.

Now what? I'm thinking of doing the mantle but need some items - Indian corn, etc. I need to make a visit to the NE United Methodist's Pumpkin Patch. Last year we didn't get there. We need to slow down and take the time to carve pumpkins. This is Audrey's senior year and we've got to make it a good one!

About Me

My husband, Bob, and I have two beautiful adopted children (Audrey and Evan). They keep our lives busy with sports. I try to make time for myself and friends. Between stamping and scrapbooking with friends, I also direct the Handbell Choir and attend college, part-time. I'm majoring in Elementary Education and plan on leaving my life of 20-odd years of accounting one day.
Stamping and sewing/embroidery are two of my favorite hobbies. I started stamping over 10 years ago. I love comments on the cards I make.
I've been sewing since I was 11 years old. Unfortunately, that's 40 years of sewing. Man, I'm getting old! I started in 4-H, have sewn for myself and used to sew for a dance company. That was a huge challenge!
My mantra is "It's 5 o'clock somewhere!"
